Red Sox/MLB 2023 Regular Season II - 140-22 still possible - RIP Vida Blue

[FrankerC]

As we near the end of April the Boston Red Sox have spent 3 days not in last place/tied for last.

And yet I don't think they've been terrible. They're outperforming my early expectations.

A's fans chant 'Sell the team' to protest team's move to Las Vegas

Just 6,423 fans showed up for the Athletics' first home game since announcing a deal for land to build a ballpark in Las Vegas. Many chanted 'Sell the team!' and 'Stay in Oakland!'

Well now it looks like Bello's injury has worsened. It is just example 4000 why I would not hire Bloom to pick up garbage off of sidewalks. Yes, I know Bello was a Dombrowski pick. ...

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Of course.

This game is in doubt because the GM and manager both think Ryan Brasier is a viable option out of the bullpen when he shouldn't be on the team at all.

Ryan Braiser still being on this team is some sort of blackmail

 

[RoccoF14]

That was outstanding.

.......as a Chicago resident and baseball fan, I can definitively say that its also 1000% accurate. Its a shame too, because White Sox fans (when they are sober) are some of the best in baseball.

Eovaldi with the CG shutout against the Yanks.

they’ll never be able to escape his wrath


As for the Sox. Doogie rocks, Brasier stinks, just another day that ends in Y

In my quest to see all ballparks, I guess I need to get to Oakland this year or next. I definitely want to sit near these people and find out exactly what they think. I suspect the language about Fisher will be entertaining.

Glad I don't root for any teams with such piss-poor ownership.

Casas finally takes a seat.

Duvall still 3rd on the team in RBIs, 2nd in HRs.

Teams are hitting .268 against Brasier.

Ort, .308

Sale, .316

Bello, .360

Just waiting on James Paxton and Brasier will be gone

Casas is an unmitigated disaster so far. And they were talking about on the radio how is defense has sucked too. I don't know how to locate the metrics they were talking about but it wasn't good.

They should of kept Hosmer honestly. He was a mentor to Casas. Every rookie is going to go through these things. He'll be fine.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Well, well, well. It looks like Sale, who I thought was washed, dried and folded, has some of his velocity back. He had it against the Orioles, but they crushed him anyway. (I say again, I think the Orioles are stealing signs, peaking at the catcher, or cheating with technology.)

Hello Chis Sale.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

This is basically pregame nappy poo time.

What a bomb by Wong.

Chaim won the Mookie trade.

Thanks man. I needed a good laugh.

2023 WAR

Alex Verdugo - 1.1
Connor Wong - 0.5
Mookie Betts - 0.5

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Good win

 

[quietbruinfan]

Good win

Yep, an encouraging win. Sale had stuff. He still cannot get strikeouts for some reason but he had stuff. Cora pulled him at the right time and Wong and Arroyo hit some.

Chaim won the Mookie trade.

Only leading the league in hosing would-be stealers too
